Coach Talk

DieNasty32
Sure, we ultimately earned the win, but we can't deny it, DieNasty32. Our starting QB was significantly outplayed by the opposition. Our one signal-callers combined for only 11.13 points in Week 14, and the QBs for Brick by brick almost tripled us up with a score of 31.63.
Brick by brick
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this week, can we? As a group, our pass-catching corps (five WR, three TE) collectively got a respectable 46 targets in Week 14. Timing and chemistry appear to be issues as that group reeled in only 26 receptions.
